Benefits of technology
This solution reduces energy consumption by enabling on-site biochar generation, optimizing the composition and ratio of biochar, bio oil, and synthesis gas production, and allowing for their direct use as fuels or soil additives, thereby enhancing efficiency and reducing transportation-related inefficiencies.
Problems solved by technology
It is commonly known that the cultivation and harvesting of food crops and forest products results in the production of vast quantities of organic waste or biomass.
The typical biochar generation method, therefore, is inefficient in that energy must be consumed in the collection of the biomass, in the transportation of the collected biomass to the fragmentation site, in the fragmentation of the biomass, in the transportation of the fragmented biomass to the pyrolyzing chamber, in generating the heat that drives the pyrolysis reaction, and in the transportation of the biochar, bio oil and synthesis gasses to their ultimate applications.

Abstract
A biochar generator may include a pyrolysis chamber, a heater connected to the pyrolysis chamber and a biochar collection chamber in communication with the pyrolysis chamber. A biochar collection chamber sensor may sense a composition of the biochar collected in the biochar collection chamber to define a sensed composition of the biochar. A controller in electrical communication with the biochar collection chamber sensor may utilize the sensed composition of the biochar to dynamically alter conditions in the pyrolysis chamber to alter the composition of the biochar.
Description
RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]The present application is a continuation in part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13 / 282,124 titled Biochar Generator and Associated Methods, filed by the inventors of the present invention on Oct. 26, 2011 which, in turn, claimed the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61 / 407,079 titled PORTABLE BIOCHAR GENERATOR AND ASSOCIATED METHODS filed by the inventor of the present invention on Oct. 27, 2010, the entire contents of each of which are incorporated herein by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to the field of biochar generators and, more specifically, to the field of biochar generators to be carried by a vehicle to produce biochar.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]It is commonly known that the cultivation and harvesting of food crops and forest products results in the production of vast quantities of organic waste or biomass.
